1. Whether cuttings can be made in winter

Because pothos has a strong growth ability, cuttings can be made even in winter. However, you should pay attention to temperature adjustment when cutting. It is best to adjust the temperature in the cutting environment to about 20°C, so that the cuttings will survive more easily. If the temperature is normal in winter, it is basically difficult to survive by cutting.

2. Suitable cutting season

If you want to cut pothos, you don’t have high requirements for the season. Late spring, early summer or winter are more suitable. The temperature in these two time periods is suitable. Usually the natural temperature can reach about 20℃, not too high or too low. At this time, the chance of survival will be higher. If you want to take cuttings in summer, you should pay special attention to the temperature and provide shade and ventilation, otherwise the cuttings will easily rot.

3. Cutting depth

When making cuttings, there is actually no need to bury them with too much soil. The purpose of burying the soil is to combine them with the soil and also play a good fixing role. When cutting, just insert the cuttings into the soil about half the depth and bury them well with soil. However, it should be noted that the soil must be clean and as loose and breathable as possible.
